Black women 

In an NPR interview with Professor Herbert Samuels at LaGuardia Community College in New York and Mireille Miller-Young a professor at UC Santa Barbara they talk about sexual stereotypes of black bodies in America and how even in sex work, already a dangerous job, black women are treated much worse than their counterparts due to the effects of their oversexualization and objectification in society.[1][20] Black women's bodies are either invisible or hypervisible. In the 1800s, a South African woman named Sara Baartman was known as "Hottentot Venus" and her body was paraded around in London and Paris where they looked at her exotic features such as large breasts and behind. Her features were deemed lesser and oversexual. There is also the Jezebel stereotype that portrays black women as "hypersexual, manipulative, animalistic and promiscuous females who cannot be controlled."[2][21]

"'Dominican Women'"

In the Dominican Republic, women have gained a sultry, sexual as the reputation of Dominican sex workers grows. Many poor women have resorted to sex work because the demand is high but the hours and pay are dictated by the workers themselves. White European and American men "exoticize dark-skinned 'native' bodies" because "they can buy sex for cut-rate prices" (Brennan, 2004). This overgeneralizing of the sexuality of Dominican women carries back to women's homes too. Even "women who...worked in Europe have become suspect..." even if they had a legal job (Brennan, 2004). They have become "exports" instead of people because of their sexualization (Brennan, 2004).
